Following overwhelming public reaction, bosses have given it<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the green light for production.<\/p>\n<p>Our drive didn\u2019t get off to the most exciting start. Prioritising the car\u2019s eco credentials, Porsche chose to show off the electric-only mode first. And while the range of 16 emissions-free miles is a very impressive trick for a performance car, from the passenger seat, it\u2019s not the most spectacular experience.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the whining sound from the electric motors is rather uninspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Factor in the on-board petrol engine, however, and things start to get a whole lot more exciting. The mid-mounted 493bhp 3.4-litre V8 comes from the company\u2019s Spyder race car, although the red line is dropped from 11,000rpm to 9,200rpm<br \/>\nto ensure better reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Three electric motors \u2013 two on the front axle, one at the rear \u2013 add 215bhp, while power is fed to the wheels through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>The results are astonishing.<\/p>\n<p>With its total output of 718bhp and 1,490kg kerbweight \u2013 thanks largely to using the Carrera GT\u2019s carbon tub \u2013 the car sprints from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and hits a 198mph top speed. Computer simulations have also calculated that it would be able to lap the N\u00fcrburgring in under seven-and-a-half minutes \u2013 faster than the V10-powered Carrera GT.<\/p>\n<p>But the truly remarkable figures are the combined fuel economy of 94mpg and CO2 emissions of 70g\/km. Four driving modes \u2013 E-Drive (electric), Hybrid, Sport and Race \u2013 help strike a balance between flat-out performance and maximum efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>While we didn\u2019t get the chance to verify these figures, our brief encounter was certainly thrilling. The V8 fires up with a deafening roar from the side-exit exhausts, and there\u2019s a frightening surge of acceleration with every prod of the throttle. It could be up to four years before customers have the finished product on their driveways \u2013 engineers estimate the development cost for this car is 10 times higher than for the Carrera GT. However, a model with such monstrous pace and angelic emissions should be well worth the wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porsche 918 Hybrid We sample the world\u2019s greenest, meanest, most eagerly awaited supercar!
